In order to facilitate Hugo Lloris’ transfer to Los Angeles FC, Tottenham agreed to give him a seven-figure fee.
After his contract with Spurs expired on Saturday, December 30, the Frenchman’s free transfer to the MLS team was officially confirmed.
Tottenham is rumored to pay the amount necessary to make up for the significant wage reduction he had to make in order to relocate to the United States and the balance of this agreement, which saw him earn more than £100,000 per week.
After being cut out of the starting lineup in April, the World Cup winner had negotiations with Spurs to end his contract.
Lloris, who started as the Lilywhites’ starting shot-stopper for 11 seasons, has six months remaining on his contract.
On Sunday, December 31, he will take the pitch at halftime of their Premier League match at home against Bournemouth to say goodbye to the supporters.
He has been a fixture in goal for 11 seasons and has made 444 appearances in all competitions since moving to north London from Lyon in the summer of 2012.
In 361 Premier League games, he maintained 127 clean sheets for Spurs, and in 2019 he helped lead them to the Champions League final.
Due to his declining play, the former captain lost his starting job. Guglielmo Vicario, a summer acquisition, took his spot in goal.
Tottenham’s 4-2 loss to Brighton on Thursday (December 28) dropped them to fifth place in the Premier League standings.
